Starting Online therapy

What is online therapy?

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.

How does online therapy work?

Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.

What is the best option for online therapy?

There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.

Is online therapy just as effective?

Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.

How long does online therapy last?

Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.

How much does online therapy cost?

Our Thriveworks therapists at Thriveworks in Fremont, CA accept most major forms of insurance, which means that many of our clients only pay $0-$50 co-pay per session. However, there are also self-pay options that sit around $200 per session, depending on the service and location, for those who are out-of-network.

Need more help deciding?

When you’re feeling overwhelmed — whether it be because of a career issue, relationship problem, or an unexplainable circumstance, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Likely, whatever issue you’re dealing with already feels like it’s taking up a lot of emotional energy that you want to be spending elsewhere. Mental health struggles can drain your energy and keep you from living in the moment.

Sometimes, this is why people decide to try to forge ahead without the help of a licensed mental health professional. Life can already be so hectic — how can anyone find the space to fit in regular counseling or therapy sessions? Thankfully, there’s an option for anyone struggling to find time for mental health services — online therapy or counseling.

Online therapy and counseling at Thriveworks in Fremont, CA, gives you access to licensed professionals without having to leave your home. Our providers can connect with you through video chats to provide you with the care that helps you reach your mental health goals. Consider calling our office at Thriveworks Counseling in Fremont, CA today to schedule an appointment.

Who Needs Online Counseling?

Just like traditional therapy or counseling, online mental health services can treat a wide array of mild and severe mental health concerns. The most significant difference between online services and face-to-face therapy or counseling is that you and your provider are not physically in the same room.

Online therapy or counseling will be able to address a wide variety of mental health issues, including:

  • Low self-esteem
  • Difficulty concentrating and recalling information
  • Trouble relating to other people
  • Feelings of isolation
  • Disordered eating
  • Career changes or struggles
  • General dissatisfaction with your life
  • Romantic relationship difficulties
  • Grief following the loss of a loved one
  • Substance abuse issues
  • LGBTQ+ issues
  • Managing stress, anger, and other challenging emotions

People who choose to work with their therapist or counselor online receive the same standard of care as people attending in-person therapy or counseling. For some, online therapy or counseling can provide additional convenience and additional accessibility, helping them find the time for care.

My therapist is great! She's professional, personable, and on time. She goes the extra mile to be helpful. I don't like the Zoom format; I prefer in person sessions but she does her best to make it feel like we are in the same room. Very happy.
